Highrise to LDAP Gateway
Cross posted from Giant Robots
WARNING: Developed as a proof of concept in about 5 hours. Use with caution.
Adapted from the ldap-activerecord-server for its RailsConf 2007 presentation, this application will proxy your Highrise contacts as LDAP entries. Once you have this installed and running on a local server, you can point OS X’s Addressbook (or Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) at it and get autocomplety goodness in your local mail client.
Quick instructions:
- Download via svn at http://svn.thoughtbot.com/highrise-ldap-proxy
- Figure out your highrise API url
- Click on ‘My Info’ in Highrise
- Click on ‘Reveal authentication token for feeds/API’ under ‘User account’. That will give you a key like
99531bd29aabd9bc9a09d04a60a97 - Combine that with your highrise url like such:
http://99531bd29aabd9bc9a09d04a60a97:Xtammersaleh.highrisehq.com/@ (Yes, X. Those 37signals dudes are wacky) - Edit the conf/ldap-config.yml file, primarily to set the right Highrise API url
- run
bin/ldap-server.rb startand check the log file for problems.
Now point your ldap server at localhost:1390 (or whatever host/port combination you’re configured for) and view your Highrise contacts in your addressbook.
Here’s a screenshot of my OS X Addressbook configuration:
…And one of Addressbook doin’ it’s thang:
Comments and patches are more than welcome, but please keep in mind that this was really just produced as a proof of concept.
